Be the one to Shine if the Sun aint doing so!

The weather was miserable today, but that did not stop us from getting our fierce on.

The Coat

This coat is what I refer to as my bitch coat, it just automatically makes me feel unstoppable. I think its something to do with the shoulder pads ( no wonder 80s women were such feminists). I got it from Zara last year, Zara are famous for their ferocious silhouettes and this cost is the pinnacle of their statement jackets. I believe I got it on sale. For a look like this be sure to keep it locked on Zara.com- they never fail.
The Top

News flash, Dorothy Perkins is not just for your mama, I got this chiffon top recently and was pleased to see it comes in several colours. The perfect outfit filler ;)

The Accessories

I got this chain from Accessorize, and the watch was from some market stall in Portobello ;) I just wanted a statement watch but didn't feel like the statement price-tag of a Michael Kors. Plus everyone has one so I thought I would mix it up.

Make up and Hair

The biggest statement of this outfit for me is by Le Dutches :). The wig is a custom Straight full wig with lace closure. The makeup is a midnight blue smokey eye. For all things beauty & hair check out www.ledutches.co.uk

Okay so by now you are probably wondering why one leg is rolled up and one is down..That's just my own little personal style. At times I can be really funky and creative with my clothes and styling... 
It definitely wouldn't work for some but it works for me and I love it.
somestimes you gotta design yourself

And on that note!


I also customised my jeans, simply by cutting them with scissors on both sides. I decided to make the cuts but more defined on the right hand side to give it some edge.
